Editorial: Le Monde

  • The International Trade Court of the US has dealt a blow to the Trump administration blocking its imposed tariffs.
  • This is a significant test for the solidity of United States institutions.
  • Three federal judges believe that Trump did not have the right to use a 1977 law to initiate an unprecedented trade war.
  • The president's attempt to force his will threatens the balance of powers and the Congress.
  • The Trump administration's actions on immigration have also been controversial.

Conclusion: An urgent clarification is needed in the US, given the White House's continual attempt to sidestep legal norms.
